violent swings in global markets an what they mean for the u.s. economy. antonio. >> patricia sabga, thanks. a new york city science teacher who allegedly crashed a drone inside the u.s. open tennis tournament has been arrested. he reportedly lost control of the drone while trying to stream video. rogue safety regulations can't keep up. in the middle of a second round match last night suddenly confusion. when a black object crashed into the stadium. >> we have a moment here where we're not entirely certain as to what it is that landed in the stands. >> nypd officers rushed to the scene. >> it was a drone. >> the drone, operated by daniel verley, did not cause any injuries. but new york senator chuck

schumer warned it is only time before something happens. >> god forbid, one of these drones get sucked into the engine of a passenger plane. we could have a tragedy of epic proportion. >> more than three times the number for all of 2014. also, in january, a quad-copter, a recreational drone, crashed into the grounds of the white house and in california this summer drones interfered with planes during firefighting operations more than a dozen times. after last night's incident at the u.s. open senator schumer tried to gather support for legislation that restrict where drones could fly. >> you could put in the software of every drone, a software mechanism that prevents them from flying near airports, the

tennis center, the pentagon or anywhere below 500 feet. there drones could fly perfectly safe. >> the head of air safe media, good evening todd. as we just reported, what happened at the u.s. open is just the latest in the soaring number of incidents involving drones, is it inevitable that people are going to get hurt? >> i think it's inevitable that as drones become more popular, hundreds of thousands being sold every year where literally you don't have to have a license to own one or operate one, it stands to reason that there will be a few people small percentage of people who do things unwise or dangerous that will lead to someone being hurt. >> a series of legislation is already in place to keep drones away from gathering places. are these rules simply not enough? >> well, the rules are very clear. the rules are very sensible.

you can't fly it within a certain distance from an airport or sports stadiums or national parks et cetera. what is lacking in my opinion is the public education campaign where those people who are only casuallcasually aware of what te regulations are for faa, have to be educated. the word has to be put out there. i'm not sure how that is to be done but sensible people if they know what the rules are will likely follow them about. >> is public education enough and will people follow them? we're talking about three incidents a day involving drones and planes and we saw the case of a drone that was programmed to fire a gun. there are more than a million drones out there hundreds of thousands a year being purchased. aside from the dangerous accidents is it also time to become serious about the danger of terrorism? >> absolutely. the drones are capable of flying

with a payload that might be several pounds. more than enough for explosives or weapons of various types. i'm sure there are folks out there who are intending to do harm with drones. it is just a matter of time when one or more events like this happens. what's going to be done to prevent this? i'm not entirely clear that you can prevent it. the underlying technology -- >> what about senator schumer's suggestion the underlying software? >> the software could work. the thing with software is software could be updated. there is no restriction what kind of software you could load. there are people who have customized drone software, changing what the manufacturer's drone software was, usually to enhance flight characteristics or flight planning. but certainly if there's a geographical restriction there can be software changes that

could take that restriction away. >> beyond the part where people can change or modify the software hasn't this type of technology wk so successful thal that people could build their own drones anyway? >> the plastic parts of the drone could be made by 3d printers, the flight control system could be purchased in pieces and where in some cases hobbyists could build their own drone. that could become more sophisticated at time rather than less sophisticated. that is why in my opinion something more than pure legislation has to be put in place to make it less likely that individuals or groups of people will conspire to do things that would put people at risk. >> todd, thanks for being with us. two presidential hopeful head to puerto rico today, why

hillary clinton and are marco rubio took their campaign to the islands evenly though they can't vote in the election. and something worse than secondhand smoke.

san juan hospital and conducting a round table discussions. programs deeply cut here, medicare and medicaid. >> it is hard to justify that you can be an american citizen in puerto rico and be treated differently, in so many ways. >> she joined island officials who have long demanded equal treatment from the u.s. government from medicare and medicaid. the funding here is capped unlike in the united states. >> we pay the same social security, we pay the same medicare tax so basically we want to receive the same benefits from what we are paying. >> puerto rico's stalling economy is sending thousands away, so many more puerto ricans now live on the mainland than the island. it is those observers that the campaign is really focused on. >> in order to win florida you need to win the hispanic vote.
